Amendments to the Customs and Border Protection Regulations to implement provisions of the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, which authorizes the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection to assess a harbor maintenance fee of 0.125 percent (.00125) on the value of commercial cargo loaded on or unloaded from a commercial vessel at a port unless specifically exempted from the fee. Proceeds of the fee are deposited in a trust fund for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to use for the improvement and maintenance of U.S. ports and harbors.
